"Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Macbeth Quote (Act V, Scene V).

"For verily, in the first book of Isaac it is written that on the eighth day the Lord did create the Disco and he looked down and saw it was evil and the boys who were cavorting therein were all named Isaac and their denials of album side lengths and numerous postings on one weekend and invented accusations of death threats were displeasing in the eyes of the Lord and God did smite the Disco and banned the boys thereof and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.Spacebrother lived to the age of 1003 and sired 70 sons and he named them all Geoff.Here endeth the lesson"

I'm an agnostic myself

Nope. Disco Boy is Isaac period. Isaac created his Disco Boy account because he made a complete fool out of himself, and got called out on it by the entire forum, when he was posting under his own actual name. He's been known to create multiple accounts.

BAN ISAAC!

Meanwhile, folks...tweedle-dumb STILL can't PROVE I'm Isaac and is STILL denying reality...

BAN ISAAC!

Ah, so you're saying that the proposition "Disco Boy is Isaac" is a fact, not an opinion - but is it a "political" fact? And your political solution would be to ban him.

The burden of proof would appear to be on you, however, as it is rather difficult for Disco Boy to prove that he isn't Isaac. Even I couldn't prove I'm not Isaac.

The doubting Thomas in me notes the fact, for instance, that Disco Boy likes A rope leash (who doesn't?). Rope's earlier incarnation was Shark Barker. Isaac hated Shark Barker. Isaac was never able to hide his dislike of anybody. Ergo Disco Boy is not Isaac.

Look, it occurs to me that it doesn't really matter whether Disco Boy is Isaac or not. The fact that he is behaving just like him is bad enough. If he's not Isaac, then there are at least two people like that out there ... go figure ...

Here we have someone being accused of being Isaac, who is acting totally like him just to prove he's not.

And Spacebro' ... get a grip ...

Acting like Isaac, my ass. What I've done is given shit to the particular people here who DESERVE IT. Why is this so hard to understand? If someone was accusing you of crap or claimed that you've stated, "half-truths" & "out-right lies" COUNTLESS times, especially without going into detail to back those accusations up, would you sit down and take it? I certainly hope not...

Lets get back to talking about labor unions and collective bargaining...

I'll start with a few quotes from a couple of our founding fathers followed by quotes from a fascist Right Wing Neo Con dictator whose rhetoric sounds exactly the same as what Romney and his supporters are saying...

"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned -- this is the sum of good government."~ Thomas Jefferson

"If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool." ~ Abraham Lincoln

"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. ~ Abraham Lincoln

"All that harms labor is treason to America." ~ Abraham Lincoln

"It was working men and women who made the 20th century the American century. It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label." ~ President Barack Obama, speech at Laborfest, September 6, 2010

...the other side...

"The main plank in the National Socialist program is to abolish the liberalistic concept of the individual and the Marxist concept of humanity and to substitute for them the folk community, rooted in the soil and bound together by the bond of its common blood." ~ Adolf Hitler

""It (the trade union) created the economic weapon which the international world Jew uses for the ruination of the economic basis of free, independent states, for the annihilation of their national industry and of their national commerce, and thereby for the enslavement of free people in the service of the above-the-state- standing, world finance Jewry." ~ Adolf Hitler

...and how does Mitt Romney's views of labor unions relate to Hitlers views on labor unions?...

The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades released a video on Monday that gathers together all of Mitt Romney's anti-union statements during the 2012 campaign. He covers a lot of ground. If elected, he said he would: •End preference for unionized companies in government contracting. •End project labor agreements. •Fight to repeal the Davis-Bacon Act. •Make sure that workers have a "secret ballot" (Something they already have, of course, but this is coded language for opposing the Employee Free Choice Act). •Fight for right-to-work (for less) laws. •Oppose "card check." •Undercut the ability of the National Labor Relations Board to do its job. •Prevent unions from being able to spend member dues on political activity without the express approval of the individual members. Most of these things he says he'd do on "Day One" and would do via executive order, usurping the role of the legislative branch in some of these actions. If anyone is still wondering why unions are lining up behind Barack Obama despite the fact that they've had some disagreements and friction with him, look no further than Mitt Romney's own words as to why.

Here's a link to a panel that discusses corruption in Illinois politics. Many of the topics discussed are identical to corruption nationwide, some very good discussion on the problems. Plus, one of the speakers is a friend of Miss Kitty.
